Mission Statement
Transforming lives through compassionately communicating God’s truth and connecting people into redemptive relationships.
New Life Ministries offers compassionate and empowering solutions to those who find themselves in life’s difficult places and who are missing what God desires for their lives. Family, friends, and churches want to help but are not always equipped to care for those dealing with problems like addiction, pornography, infidelity, anxiety, anger, fear, depression, and hurts from the past.
New Life combines a deep commitment to biblical truth with the best in psychological knowledge. We firmly believe that applying proven techniques for emotional, physical, and spiritual health is in accordance with God’s call to live in wholeness and redemptive relationships. And, we’re not afraid to share our own struggles, because we’re all on this journey together.
New Life isn’t focused on making people feel better. We’re focused on helping people do the hard work that will actually help them be better. That’s what true healing means. We take people out of the isolation caused by trauma and sin, and help them find the path and the process to a right relationship with God.
Through our live call-in radio and TV broadcasts, New Life Live! and Weekend Workshops, we provide practical wisdom and help people see that they are not alone. And by connecting people to a professional in our New Life Counselor Network, we are helping many find the intensive support they need.
Vision Statement
Reaching people with Biblical truth and the best in psychological knowledge for emotional, physical, and
spiritual transformation through media, events, and personal connection.
Core Values
Truth, Connection, Transformation
Our History
New Life Ministries, founded by Stephen Arterburn, began in 1988 as New Life Treatment Centers. New Life’s nationally broadcast radio program, New Life Live!, began in early 1995. “Women of Faith” conferences, also founded by Stephen Arterburn, began in 1996; and between 1991 and 1999, New Life acquired the Fred Gross Christian Therapy Program, Remuda Ranch, Minirth-Meier Clinics, and the Calvary Center. All have since been sold or closed. The New Life Counselor Network was formed in 2000. New Life continues to develop and expand our programs and resources to help meet the changing needs of our callers and listeners.
New Life Today
Today New Life Ministries is a nationally recognized, faith-based, broadcasting and counseling non-profit organization providing ministry through radio, TV, our counseling network, workshops, support groups, and numerous written, audio, and video resources. All New Life resources are based on God’s truth and help those who are hurting find and build connections and experience life-transformation.
Our New Life Live! radio program, still the centerpiece of our ministry, is broadcast on more than 250 Christian radio stations, including most major metropolitan areas and SiruisXM satellite radio. New Life Live! can also be heard or viewed on NRB TV; on the New Life YouTube channel; as a podcast; on the New Life App; at Oneplace.com; on the newlife.com website and on Alexa-enabled devices.
Our passion is to reach out compassionately to those seeking emotional and spiritual health and healing for God’s glory. New Life Ministries Resource Center receives thousands of calls each month from those looking to us for help. We look forward to the future with hope that God will continue to bless our ministry and those we serve.
